Tamiya 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109G-6
Walter replied to Seamus's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very nice clean workπ -
Hello everyone I've recently finished 2 builds 1 by Pioneer2 the other by Revell both in 1/72. These 2 kits couldn't more different. The Pioneer2 kit is very rudimentary and isn't labelled as any particular model type, however I'm going to presume it's the V2 based on the undercarriage. I will note that if it is the V2 it's not in correct scale. The Revell kit is type IX. Quite a nicely detailed kit which lends itself to additional work. I'm actually going to do a little more work on the wings at a later date. The intention is to build a workshop diorama for this plane. Here is the Pioneer2 kit fully assembled and painted. And the Revell kit, partly left in wood finish unpainted. scratch built workshop stands.

Walter replied to Giampiero Piva's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Haha so true Duncan, it's all about expectations isn't it and knowing what your getting into. It won't be my next build that's for sure! ....and Gianpiero makes it look so easyπ€ -
Thank you you all. The issues listed are all publicly available after a little research. If you like this plane please give it a try. My comments aren't in anyway listed as negatives, it's actually quite a quick build. Half the build time was devoted to putting in panel lines and rivets. As long as you plan the solutions it will work out very nicely.

Excellent work I'll have to look this up as a reference when I build one. -
My issues were, Undercarriage doesn't have a base to sit on you need to put one in on the lower wing before attaching the wings. Be careful with the alignment of undercarriage legs also. The end of the engine nacelles doesn't fit well so lots of sanding. Rear horizontal stabiliser doesn't fit well so needs work and filling. You will need a lot of weight in the front, dry test fitting is a must to see if it's enough before glueing the fuselage together. I think I'm going to try replacing the cockpit floor entirely with one made of lead. It's pretty basic so should work. Finally the antenna masts need care placement and alignment the mounting points are not very good.

Thanks Duncan, you definitely need to have a few tricks up your sleeve for this kit.

Lovely work. Surely the Italian flag on the right side is the wrong way around. -
An RAF He-219 Uhu ++++ FINISHED ++++
Walter replied to mark.au's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Mark looks like a great result, you are right the smaller scale will increase the difficulty. I found from previous builds that scale effect is very important, this doesn't make it any easier per se, but it does make for a better result when you keep this in mind. Keep up the good work.- 134 replies

Walter replied to mark.au's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I'm working on an Uhu aswell but in 1/72 the camouflage is the most challenging part of the build I think. I'm keen to see how you progress.- 134 replies
